About This Item
The first edition of this account of the trial regarding a famous London murder, which has since been linked to the unsolved Jack the Ripper case. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Illustrated, with a frontispiece and five plates. This is a full account of the trial of Mrs Maybrick who was convicted of murdering her cotton merchant husband James Maybrick through poison. Preceding the day-by-day account there is a list of dates and the counsel. There were five trial days in total, and each day has a verbatim account of proceedings. This trial was sensational and gripped the attention of the general public at the time and was reported by press in England and America. More than a century after his death Maybrick was accused of being Jack the Ripper following the revelation of a diary whereby he confessed. Subsequently this was found to be a hoax. However, researcher Bruce Robinson believes that his brother Michael Maybrick was the true killer. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Rubbing to the head and tail of spine and a small loss to cloth at the extremities. A few white spots on front board. Spine paler than boards. Internally very good. Binding is strained a little at front and back. Pages are bright. Some foxing on early and late pages. See photos for a clear idea.

About Sloane
I am selling the books my mother loved. She left instructions in her will that they were to be sold on to people who would love them as much as she did and not just given to a charity shop She was an avid reader of crime, particularly true crimes. She wasn't well-off and each of these books took a time to earn.
Thank you for looking.
